How do I use an AI mashup maker before making a video?
Use an AI mashup maker or audio editor to prepare the combined track before you create its video. AI Music.Video accepts a finished audio file for visual generation. Its music tools do not provide a dedicated interface for beat-matching and mixing two existing songs.

Before you start
Choose source recordings you can use and define the relationship between them. For example, one song supplies the lead vocal and another supplies the backing. Keep unedited copies and check whether you need an external stem separation workflow before mixing.
Steps
- Inspect the mashup tool's input and output controls. Confirm that it can align existing recordings, let you audition transitions and export a file. A tool that generates a new song from a prompt may not preserve the performances you want to combine.
- Find a compatible phrase from each source. Estimate tempo with the BPM tapper, then align the audible downbeats in your audio editor. Listen for pitch conflicts as well as tempo differences; matching numbers alone does not make two phrases work together.
- Use the clearest available vocal and instrumental parts. Adjust timing and balance in the audio editor, then export a short test. Follow the AI music mashup review to check vocal overlap, transitions and the start of each phrase.
- Export the approved mix as a supported audio file. Open Create, select the passage and follow the music video workflow. Build the storyboard around the actual transitions in the mashup, rather than the structure of either original song.
Worked example
For a practice mix, place an original vocal phrase over an instrumental you created. Let the accompaniment play alone before the vocal enters. This makes the entry easy to hear and gives the video a clear visual change. Keep the exercise short until the timing and tonal relationship work.
Check the result
You should have one finished mix with stable timing and an intentional ending. Name the export clearly so you do not upload an earlier test. Save the source tracks and editor project if you expect to revise the arrangement after seeing the video.
If something goes wrong
If the vocal sounds stretched, reduce the tempo change or choose a closer source phrase. If separation creates watery artifacts, seek a cleaner vocal rather than masking it with louder accompaniment. If the mix changes after video generation, expect to review the scene timing again.
